Psalm 46
Leader: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Cong: Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, and the mountains shake in the depths of the sea.
Leader: There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.
Cong: God is in the midst of the city and it shall not be shaken.
Leader: Nations rage, and Kingdoms shake; God speaks, and the earth melts away.
Cong: Behold the one who makes war to cease in all the world; who breaks the bow and shatters the spear, who burns the shields with fire.
Leader: “Be still and know that I am God;
Cong: I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth.”

Prayer of the Day
Pastor: O God, our true life, to serve you is freedom, and to know you is unending joy. We worship you, we glorify you, we give thanks to you for your great glory. Abide with us, reign in us, and make this world into a fit habitation for your divine majesty, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. And all God’s children said loudly...Amen!

Gospel: Luke 23:33-43
When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots to divide his clothing. And the people stood by watching, but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!”  The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine  and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”  There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”
One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom.” He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
The Word of the Lord…Thanks be to God.
